the remake of the first tank improved

This like turtle stool is a rebuild and advanced copy. the difference being that the smaller tank in the picture was a prototype and never intended to be the end product. It is all out of 3/4 except a chunk of 3/4 plywood under the top of the body. It was a lot of fun and if your reading the dad’s military blog I have already started on the next military piece.

I drilled the wholes for the axles then cut the pattern for the lower part. To make the tread honestly I just used the bandsaw and cut notches around the edges. I used a small trim table saw for the strait line across the top then a carving bit on my dremmel for the rest. Yes there are wheels under between the tread. I tried cutting a slot in the treads on the first tank to put the wheels in but did not like it so just put them in between.
